While playing the game on Hardcore difficulty, money is more scarce and the base, neutral honor price of each item will be slightly lower.


Description[]

Golden Currant are found in the western side of the Great Plains area, particularly along the railroad tracks. They are tall, upside-down pear-shaped, dark green leafy bushes and are very easy to spot in the light-colored surroundings. Sometimes near rocks, and under groups of trees, but scattered about in general. It should be noted that the game must be set in Spring because Golden Currant only blooms in Spring.

Tips[]

  • A Survivalist Map is not needed for Rank 9 Survivalist Challenge as Golden Currant can be seen from very far distances, making it the easiest plant to find.

Locations[]

  • There are several in and around Beecher's Hope, and they are also widespread in the Great Plains. There tends to be an abundance in them just off of the small cliff on the East side of Beecher's Hope.
  • (Rdr2) Golden Currant can be found in Roanoke Ridge especially outside Van Horn Trading Post, a few Golden Currant plants can be found just West of Van Horn.
